About this property
Villa Tiguglio is an elegant five-bedroom retreat overlooking the Gulf of Tigullio, where carefully restored Art Deco details meet contemporary Italian design. Dating from 1928, the villa retains a strong sense of its original character, with hand-painted decorative features, period-inspired furnishings and generous living spaces arranged across three levels. Each bedroom enjoys sea views and a private bathroom, while shared spaces include a spacious living room, dedicated dining room, fully equipped kitchen and private gym.
Outside, Mediterranean gardens wrap around the villa, planted with palms, citrus trees and aromatic herbs. At the heart of the grounds is a panoramic infinity pool overlooking the Ligurian Sea, accompanied by sunbathing areas and peaceful corners for relaxing outdoors. A large marble dining table beneath a bougainvillea-covered pergola and an outdoor kitchen make long lunches and dinners particularly inviting.
Set in Zoagli on the Ligurian Riviera, Villa Tiguglio offers a scenic base between Portofino and the Cinque Terre, combining privacy, distinctive design and far-reaching coastal views.
Villa Tiguglio enjoys an elevated coastal setting in Zoagli, a characterful seaside village on the Gulf of Tigullio. Quieter than some of its better-known neighbours, Zoagli combines a relaxed atmosphere with a striking shoreline, where pebble beaches and a stone pedestrian promenade follow the rocks beside the Ligurian Sea. The village is also known for its long tradition of weaving silk velvets and damasks, a craft that remains part of local life today.
Guests can spend leisurely days swimming, exploring the coastal paths or enjoying the nearby partner beach club at Marina di Bardi, which is just minutes from the villa and can also be reached by shuttle. Rapallo, the nearest larger town, offers further shops and amenities, as well as rail and ferry connections for exploring the coastline.
Beyond Zoagli, the Gulf of Tigullio opens up towards Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure, while the Cinque Terre lies further along the eastern Riviera, making Villa Tiguglio a well-placed base for discovering some of Liguria’s most celebrated coastal scenery.
